NieR Automata Ver1.1a Episode 3 Predictions
The episode’s name or preview trailer has yet to be released. However, the new episode is most likely to showcase the relationship between the androids and the humans. It will be interesting to divulge more about the character named Lily and how she perceives 2B and 9S.

NieR Automata Ver1.1a Episode 2 Recap
The new episode gave the audience a peek at the behind-the-scenes of the war and the lives of the humans. After 2B and 9S destroyed the Goliath with the help of the black cube, which also killed them in the process, they were revived again by YoRHa. However, the supervisor advises them not to use the equipment recklessly as it has major repercussions.
Meanwhile, in the lonely city of ruins awakes, a robot. Several other machines lying on the street also wake, forming a large group within minutes. Some humans attack the robots but are unsuccessful in defeating each one. Subsequently, we also notice how a robot can form human emotions after it picks up a flower and a message pops up on its screen that says, “Detected Emotion Matrix”.
2B and 9S are given a new set of tasks, and it is to save the humans in distress. They are supposed to save a group called the Resistance on Earth. They are a group of survivors fighting against the machines, but they have stopped responding to YoRHa. The androids’ main mission is to find out the reason behind their lack of response. A new character named Lily is introduced, who seems crucial to the plot.
